Five "MUSTS" When Choosing a Jury Consultant
The right jury consultant can provide a wealth of resources and is an important addition to any trial team, perhaps making the difference between winning and losing. There are several factors the litigator should be considered when retaining a jury consultant.

Qualifications: Qualified jury consultants possess doctoral degrees from accredited universities in the fields of psychology, sociology, other behavioral sciences, or marketing research who have solid research experience in the area of psychology and law.

Research Philosophy: Conscientious consultants carefully plan and execute research projects, ensuring the research is as bias free as possible. Proper research includes selecting mock jurors in the same way “real” jurors are chosen in the venue.

Research Services: Your consultant should conduct a thorough needs assessment of your case and design the research program in a way that provides definitive answers.

Consulting Approach: The consultant should "consult" with the litigator, providing a complementary, objective, and different perspective. In no way should the consultant assume the role of advocate, a role reserved for the litigator.

Ethics: Ethical considerations include revealing specific research methodologies; accuracy in reporting research results; and proper treatment of participants, staff, and clients.

Work closely with your jury consultant to learn everything you need to enhance your representation of your client.
